In 2010 the organisations that form the E4 Group launched a project on “Mapping the Implementation and Application of the European Standards and Guidelines on Quality Assurance in Higher Education (MAP-ESG)”.
The project aimed at gathering information on how the ESG have been implemented and applied in the 47 Bologna signatory countries and to launch a thorough discussion on the ESG in their entirety. The report is based on the analysis of expert views from all relevant actors and stakeholders in higher education, notably teachers and students, higher education management and internal quality assurance bodies, external quality assurance agencies, EQAR and ministries, and the social partners. It is the first overarching study on the implementation of the ESG in all its parts, and a thorough analysis of their impact on European higher education.
